Well it was only a matter of time!
« on: 08 May 2007, 09:50 »
Knew it would happen but thought I would get away with it for a bit longer, washing the car yesterday I noticed the first scratch! :cry:

Its only hairline and you wouldnt see it normally but now I know its there!! :angry:

So any advice, products that you would recommend in getting rid of the little bugger.

Thanks lads

Depend how deep it is, if it's not dowwn to the base coat, I use Autosolve metal polish, then T cut (or simular) then scratch X, then re wax.

Try Meguiars ScratchX - works well for me:

Make sure you clean, polish and wax all the paintwork afterwards.

Very simple fine polish - used on both my black GTI and the wifes Toyota with good results. Use an applicator pad and a fine microfibre cloth to polish off.
